Hey guys! I'm on the verge of buying the Captain Sim 757 Freighter Essential, but apparantly, only the PF version with PW2037 engines comes with it. So my question is: Are liveries made for the SF and PCF versions with both PW2037s and 2040s compatible with it?

Hello guys, I've had this issue pop up for a while on my new hardware, and asking over on the official LM forum yielded no results. I have the classic autogen not loading/ground texture blurry problem when flying. The strange thing is, no matter how low I turn the settings down with locked 30 fps, the issue does not improve in any way. Even more strangely, this issue exists both on P3D V4.5 and V5.1/5.2 I have tried: - Lowering settings/lower fps limits - Switching SMT (AMD's hyperthreading) on and off - Affinity masks - TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT and TextureMaxLoad changes - Higher FFTF settings None of these seem to even alleviat…

Hello Guys, 1) I have noticed strange behaviour of my P3D. In my opinion I am getting poor performance, especially in the cockpit, where (the same situation with any aircraft) I have 23-25 FPS with the GPU utilisation at max 50%. For instance on the outside views I am getting ~40 FPS with the constant >90% GPU utilisation. The CPU remains at 10-20%. 1) I have also noticed the performance degradation during flight. I made a test. I was departing from EGLL having 25-27 FPS in the cockpit (GPU utilisation at 50% and CPU 10-20%). Made 50 nm trip and get back to EGLL for landing (the same arrival runway as departing runway). I have noticed significant drop in the…

Recently I just flew into colombian jungle and discovered, there are no autogen trees. The ground is covered with rain forest textures. I have ORBX SA LC. There are no trees with the ORBX landclass an without. Trees landclasses everywhere, but no trees and also no buildings There's a straight borderline a few miles away, where autogen trees start. I fear it's the complete square not having trees. Looks like something is deletiing autogen on a large scale I have no scenery there, than the default runway you can see. Is this a P3D5.2 HF1 bug? Can someone check, if this is something every user has or not? Just go to SKCR. Thanks Dan

G'day all, Interested in converting YBSU and YPAD from MSFS to P3D. Any recommended ways/guides to pull the scenery conversion? Cheers,

I used this calculate my mask https://www.gfsg.co.uk/affinitymask.aspx?SubMenuItem=utilties and so it came up with 65532 on my 4790k with HT enabled. My core 3 is at 100%, others are used some. v4 was at least balanced. https://www.amazon.com/photos/shared/Nx1GAXiLTNmoU_ZEHKL_Zw.SJGq4V0Zwt2PztndqdGFH3

Reading reports of 32Gb forced updates, TIR being borked, endless complaints about update problems, DX12 poor performance, slide shows, etc... 🤣🤣🤣

I had the RealAir Scout installed in P3D V4.5 HF2 and V5.0 with help from RamonB. The Configuration Panel worked OK and gauges appeared in the Scout as I specified. After a long period of FS inactivity, I had to do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 and when I reinstalled P3D I went to 4.5 HF3 and 5.2 HF1. In getting back to the Scout, I am having a few issues: (1) When I run the Configuration Panel, I now get messages that there are scripting errors which I have ignored. The URL included in the Configuration Panel for RAS goes someplace else. The configuration seems to still work though. I select the vacuum gauges, HSI, and regular ADF for both the regular Scout and…

Hi, has anyone ever seen this problem in fog conditions, nice visuals at low speed but around 40 kts this weird line/layer appears and distorts the forward view. See comparison shot between <40kts and >40kts.

CaptainSim 767-300CF Merge G'day all, with regards to a possible merge, would it be possible that I can merge the SSP 767F door and interior and chuck it onto the CS 767 fuselage?

The descriptions and pictures look very promising, anyone have it?? 23 euros would be OK if it matches the scripts, does not say anything about a mechanical Idle release in your collective (ala Dodo style). Jorge

Hi, my versions are P3DV5.2, ActiveSky v. 7900, scenery is airport LKPR by XHT Labs.

Does anyone know if i can find some more documentation on AIGTC? i've got most of it setup i just need to fill in my ''AIGFP'' directory, wherever that might be.

Hello, My internet connection is NOT very performant If seams that my P3D uses Onedrive . (Onedrive/documents) Is it possible to avoid that P3d uses OneDrive? BUT I use OneDrive as backup for other files and folders... Thanks in advance

Hello @everyone, I was testing during these days version 5 of P3D, everything was good. However, the only thing I missed from the v4 is the problem with the UTC Time during long flights that the time zone doesn't change. Does anyone know any addon for P3Dv5 for solve this problem? I know the FSX Real Time, but for the moment is not working at version 5 of LM. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards

As per the post title. Engines now start properly.

I dont even have a clue what i last edited about my textures, i think i updated my pascal sky colors and all of a sudden my nights are, a little less nightly bit more higher exposure^ Is there any place i can get more blackened night textures?

I installed Chase Plane and verified the files, but when it comes to programing an aircraft, a Majestic Dash-8 and a default plane, the keys or buttons I assign don't work. The camera controls don't work. I un-installed then re-installed with the firewall off and entered Chase Plane as an exception in the Defender Fire Wall. I'm using Windows 11 and Prepared v4.

Has anyone hade this trouble iv recently changed from P3Dv4,5 to v5 and have tried for ages to load install UT2 with no luck it will simply not recognise P3Dv5 on the first page. Therefore i cannot go forward, iv installed the re-installed but have the same result. Anyone have any remedies id appreciate it. Billy

I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this: Whenever my P3D v4.1 window loses focus when I am flying the Mad Dog, all sounds mute. And yes, I did uncheck the Mute-On-Lost-Focus option in the P3D sound menu. All my other aircraft do not seem to have this issue. Only the Mad Dog. Is this just something with my set up? A known glitch? A bug that I should report?

Hello, yesterday my sim worked fine but today it wont open is stuck on splash screen but when i move fslabs folder from add ons it worked fine. I tried to delete generated files also reinstall fslabs but nothing worked.

Taxi2gate have just released Doha Hamad international airport for P3D v5 (v4 version will release soon according to FB post). simMarket: TAXI2GATE - OTHH-V2 P3D5 Don't forget to delete your older GSX.cfg if you used the old FSX/P3D version!
